Don't get on your high horse man, that poor technique poor theory knowledge distortion playing applies as well to page as it does to anybody else. I like his music, I'm not insulting him, all I'm saying is that you shouldn't look at music like its a competition. There's no music olympics, let guitar chick listen to what she likes to. You'd be pissed off at me if I told you that you should quit listening to that kid's music and listen to bebop instead because its more complex and its better music, and I would be completely out of line if I said that. Likewise it isn't fair to oversimplify and generalize about entire genres just because you don't like them, and you shouldn't get on her case for liking cobain just because you don't like his stuff (hey, I dont either, but that's just my personal taste.)
